Description : |
Plate title: Waungerri Lake, westward of Port Lincoln. Part of the text accompanying the illustration reads 'About thirty miles to the North and West of Port Lincoln, there is a rich and beautiful country, as yet but little known, having several fine lakes of water, and luxuriant pasture-land scattered with park-like trees; beyond these lakes rise two distinct ranges of lofty and abrupt hills'. The Register of 13 June 1904, page 8a describes the Lake: Its waters are fresh and are well stocked with a species of mullet [but] the fish are fastidious in their tastes and no bait has yet been found sufficiently attractive to make them take the hook.... Mt Dutton and the nearby hills are inselbergs. These are monolithic rock outcrops or mountains. Waungerri was the spelling used by Angas for Wangary. |
